Description

Allows you to assign custom text tones on a contact or group basis.

If you hear 2 text tones when receiving a text, disable your system text notification sound and enable a default text tone in the preferences for the app. If you have another app that is playing a tone when you receive a text, you will need to disable that functionality in that app.

If your phone doesn't allow you to set a ringtone to "Silent", please download:http://software.roadkill.com/CustomSMS/silent/Silent.mp3 and use that. It is a 1 second silent MP3.

Please email software@roadkill.com if you have comments/questions/problems with the app. Leaving comments and ratings in the market is great, but we have no way of contacting you to respond to your comment.

Settings button?!?!?! This app used to be great, hence why I bought it instead of just used the free version. Now I can't set my default tone for all texts so I get no notification or if I set one through my regular message settings I get the default tone with texts from personalized text tones in this app. Please fix or refund. Extremely unhappy.

It worked great on my old phone but not on my new one. The text tone only plays back now for about 5 seconds for regular texts, picture messages will play the whole tone though. I e-mailed the developers, like they asked so they could try to fix any problems. They have not responded so I guess they don't provide the technical support that they promise.

Great, but with one small issue This app works perfectly and is very easy to use. I've been using it for years. However, I've been recently concerned with a problem while listening to music. My music app is set to ignore notifications that aren't call tones. It works perfectly by not pausing when other notifications make noise, but it does pause with this one. Same with the YouTube and Soundcloud apps. I'm not sure if that can be fixed on your end or not, but it's been bugging me.

When it works it's great Have used this on 3 different phones. When it works, it works well. However, it randomly stops working, and even though contacts still show custom tones, they don't play. Have to uninstall/reinstall and reset all the tones for it to work. This is very annoying.

Good...When it works Works really well... When it actually works. Can't tell from one day to the next if the app will actually just stopp working for no apparent reason when you're trying to add a contact. What's worse, there appears to be no support whatsoever from the author of the app.

Used to love it Like everyone else I can't pull up settings on it anymore so now I hear the tone for everyone and the one for that contact at the same time... if this gets fixed I'll give it 5 stars but especially since I paid for it I expect more

Attn Note 4 owners! I have figured out how to get the settings to open! Open the app and press and HOLD your left button that usually brings up all your windows that are usually open. But by holding it within the app, settings pops up in the bottom. From in there you can set this app or the lite version as your default tone manager. Then go into your texting app and turn off your tone in there and you will no longer get 2 tones when someone texts you. I'm sure Galaxy S owners can do the same.

Press the back button to retrieve settings options!! I was really angry because I thought the app had taken away the settings options. On the Note 5, press the back buttons to pull up the settings in the app. It allows to you to customize the length of the tone, disable your default tone etc. I'm happy now 😆😆😆

Doesn't work on my new Galaxy S5 phone I installed the paid for version on my new phone and it acts like the lite version. I can't see any way to set a quiet time etc. All I can do is set SMS tones for contacts but no "Settings" button anywhere.

Update 03/16/2015: For Note 4 users, and S5 ... long press the recent apps button, and settings will appear.... I paid for this app years ago, and now that I have upgraded to the Note 4, I can't use it, as there is no menu button on the Note 4. This takes away the option to set it as default

Good app I'm a volunteer fireman and I use this app to notify me when I get a text for a fire call. Works great and no mistaking when I have a call. Used to have to carry a separate pager but this app eliminates that.

HMMM It sure doesn't give me all these screens. All I get is add contact or add group. doesn't work worth a poop. it changes my ringtone not my text notification tones which I want...(Yes I disabled notifications in my phone menu) LG-G3

No settings! The first page is gone. I'm not going to turn off all my notifications for everything just to hear my friends, and I like having sound for EVERY notification, not just contacts. Refunded until fixed!

Having some problems This was a 4 star app but as of late, the ringtones do not play for certain contacts. On my HTC One I had this problem but only with one contact. Now on the S3, its multiple contacts. Plz fix

Custom SMS tones rule! There are very few things on which iOS natively outdoes Android. But being able to assign custom text tones to members of your address book happens to be one area where Android utterly fails in its native state. This app solves that gap! Now I can assign specific text tones to those any people in my address book that I choose. It also allows me to customize the color of the LED blinking alert. Been using this app for a year and it has proven to be pretty reliable.

Fix it please Used to work great! Had this app on my EVO and transferred to my S3. Now it won't work at all. Force closes. Emailed developers 3 times with no response. Highly disappointed. Fix it please!****Checked it oit again today and seems to be working! Went to a 4 star to see how it does!

Perfect Lets you set a tone for each person, custom vibration patterns and more! Even lets you set this up for unmatched (aka default). Just as long as you disable the tone and/or vibration in the SMS/other sms apps.

Works! I'm on Android 4 and its super cool. I can customize by group or by person, and it even does custom vibrate patterns and LED lights! Now I know when to care about a text message or not before I reach into my pocket. Also cool to put on your girlfriend's phone so you can give yourself a custom ringtone (just an Idea)
